Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

MCF-7 cells are a commonly used human breast cancer cell line. They are adherent epithelial-like cells derived from a Caucasian woman's mammary gland adenocarcinoma. MCF-7 cells are widely used in cancer research as an in vitro model for studying breast cancer biology and testing potential treatments.

Evaluating Anti-Proliferative Potential of Novel Compounds Against Breast Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Taufkirchen, Germany, were propagated in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, and 1% standard antibiotic solution. Cells were incubated in a 5% CO2humidified incubator at 37 °C and passaged bi-weekly. The in vitro anti-proliferative activity of the newly synthesized derivatives was assayed using the standard MTT technique [54 ,55 ,56 (link)].
The results were expressed as IC50. Experiments were repeated at least in triplicate, to obtain good reproducibility between replicate wells with standard errors below 10%. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effects of the prepared derivatives were evaluated against normal nonmalignant cells, non-tumorigenic MCF-10A, in order to find out if the synthesized derivatives have toxicity against normal cells. Additionally, the results were compared with reference compounds (cisplatin and milaplatin) as positive controls.

HepG2 were propagated in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium DMEM—a high glucose medium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA)—supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM pyruvate, 10 mM HEPES, 10 µL/mL MEM non-essential amino acids, 50 µg/mL penicillin, and 50 µg/mL streptomycin (all reagents from Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA). A549, MCF-7, and HepG2 cells were purchased from the European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC, Salisbury, UK). The cell cultures were maintained under standard cell culture conditions at 37 °C in a humidified incubator under an atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air. Cells were passaged every 2–3 days to obtain exponential growth. The cells were maintained in the culture for no more than 20 passages.

Breast Cancer Cell Lines Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MCF-7 cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and MFM223 cells from Sigma-Aldrich. MDA-MB-231(SA) cells were a gift from Dr. Guise (University of Texas, USA). MDA-MB-231(SA) is a variant of MDA-MB-231 that effectively forms bone metastases, but does not otherwise markedly differ from the parental cell line [22 (link), 23 (link)]. MCF-7 cells were grown in RPMI-1640 medium (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (iFBS, Gibco), GlutaMAX (Gibco), estrogen (10–9 M) and insulin (4 μg/ml). MDA-MB-231(SA) cells were grown in 10% iFBS/DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with GlutaMAX and non-essential amino acids (Gibco). MFM223 cells were grown in 10% iFBS/DMEM. The FGFRis TKI258 (S2769), BGJ398 (S2183) and AZD4547 (S2801) were purchased from Selleck Chemicals as DMSO stocks (IC50 values are listed in Supplementary Table S1).

Breast cancer MCF-7 cells were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). Taxane-resistant MCF-7 (MCF-7/Tax) cells were obtained by the exposure of the parent MCF-7 cells to gradient concentrations of drugs (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). All cells were maintained in Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 medium added with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 units/mL penicillin and 100 mg/mL streptomycin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) with 5% CO2 at a temperature of 37°C. MCF-7 cells resistant to adriamycin (Adr) were purchased from KeyGene (KeyGene, Rockville, MD, USA).
Lentivirus-carrying siRNA-MALAT1 or siRNA scramble control (scramble) was packaged into human embryonic kidney 293T cells using a lentiviral packaging kit (Open Biosystems, Inc., Huntsville, AL, USA) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. MCF-7/Tax cells were infected with lentivirus to construct stable cell lines.

MCF7 cells (American Type Culture Collection) were cultured in DMEM medium (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), then received treatment in serum-free DMEM medium. Cellular mRNA was extracted and purified from MCF7 cells (1×106/ml) using TRIzol® (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), chloroform, isopropanol and alcohol. The cDNA was synthesized by using RevertAid RT Reverse Transcription Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols. Real time PCR was performed with ABI PRISM 7300 Sequence Detection System (Applied Biosystems, USA). After RT, the target gene mRNA expression was detected with the primers shown in Table I and with FastStart Universal SYBR Green Master (Rox; Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.), in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols. The thermal cycling conditions were: Denaturation 10 min at 95°C, followed by 45 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 30 sec, annealing at 56°C for 30 sec and extension at 72°C for 30 sec, and then CENPM, ERCC6L, SHCBP1, CKS2, RAD51, KIF4A, HMMR, SPAG5, CDC25C, and RACGAP1 mRNA levels were quantified as previously reported (24 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
